‘Justice for Diego’: Argentines demand answers in Maradona death

An expert panel in Argentina is investigating whether medical negligence contributed to football icon’s death last year.

Hundreds of Argentines protested on Wednesday to demand justice in the death of Diego Maradona, as experts met earlier this week to investigate how the football legend died and whether there had been any medical negligence in his case. Demonstrators donned Argentinian football jerseys, held banners and flags emblazoned with Maradona’s face, as well as a cut-out of the superstar, during a rally in central Buenos Aires, the capital. “He did not die, they killed him!” the organisers of the rally said in materials sent out on social media. “Justice for Diego. Trial and punishment of the guilty.”
